What are the levels of the boat maintenance program?

• A. Organization, Unit-Level, Depot
• B. Unit-Level, Intermediate, Depot
• C. Organization, Unit-Level, Intermediate and Depot
• D. Organization, Intermediate and Depot

Answer: (C)

Maintenance is structured into four levels to ensure issues are handled at the right depth and with the proper resources: organizational, unit-level, intermediate, and depot. Organizational maintenance covers routine, on-the-spot work by the crew to keep equipment ready—inspections, lubrication, minor adjustments. When more extensive work is needed, unit-level maintenance handles tasks that require disassembly or component replacement using standard tools at the unit, on site. If the problem goes beyond what can be done at the unit, intermediate maintenance provides more specialized capabilities and workshop-level repairs with greater skill and equipment. Finally, depot maintenance is for major overhauls and complete rebuilds performed at a depot or contractor facility with the highest level of repair capability. The choice listing all four levels matches this four-tier structure, while the other options omit one or more levels.
